9 Sharing a cart with a group
Sharing carts allows requisitioners and shoppers to create groups and give them access
to a cart. This feature permits workgroups or small departments to combine shopping
and purchasing into shared carts for group orders. All group members are able to
simultaneously view cart contents. However, Users have the ability to restrict additions
or changes to a shared cart by locking the cart.

mouse-over the shopping cart
icon in the left-side navigation
bar. Mouse-over Admin, and

3. Under New Shared Cart User Group, enter a Name for the group and provide a
Description (optional). Under User Group Members, click on user to search for
members by name or on department to search by program code. Click the Save
